FAQs

Are the Karhu Fusion 2.0 Trainers suitable for running?

While the Fusion 2.0 is reinterpreted from a former running model and features supportive technology, it is primarily marketed as a modern sneaker for everyday wear. For serious or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes may be more appropriate.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

What is Karhu's Fulcrum technology?

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness

New trainers can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and check for any trapped debris. If the sound persists, it may resolve with further wear.

Discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Follow care instructions for cleaning to prevent material damage.
